Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2979060, member: 1329"] It's a difficult balance to win this year and also try to prepare for the future. I think Jalen must be frustrating as hell a player to coach. [USER=1414]@HuskyHawk[/USER] mentioned it, but Jalen wasn't just good in the first 15 minutes, he was dominant. He was all over the court. He was seizing his spots. He was finishing moderately tough shots with ease. He wasn't [I]taking[/I] tough shots. He was helping rebound and throwing outlet passes to leakers. He was getting steals and finding the ball off deflections. We were up double digits. And then I don't know if it went to his head or what, but then he started making bonehead plays. He was picking up his dribble and leaving his feet at the free throw line and throwing to literally nobody. He was throwing passes to bigs who weren't even looking at him. He was penetrating, stopping, not even making a move, and going up and getting his shot blocked. How do you reconcile the two? How do you bench him as some have suggested? He scored 25 points on 50% shooting with 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals. But he also had 6 turnovers and 4 fouls, and most of them were clearly his fault. Do you quick hook him in the last 5 minutes of the 1H when he made 1 dumb play after the tremendous half? Do you do it after the 2nd one? [/QUOTE]
